PS4 / PS5
The Lies of P platinum depends on choices in Krat as much as successful boss parries. Endings represent incompatible outcomes, characters award items during specific windows, and some records require New Game+. Build the first journey around humanity and character stories instead of consuming every rare resource for immediate Ergo. This roadmap concerns the original list; Overture trophies form a separate group.
Roadmap for the PS4/PS5 base list. Additional trophy groups must be distinguished from platinum requirements.
- Required difficulty: The difficulty options added in the 2025 update are usable; Legendary Stalker is not mandatory.
- Missable trophies: Endings, character stories, gestures and rewards require planning before advancing.
- Online: The route can be completed offline and has no multiplayer trophies.
Build humanity and finish character requests
Talk to hotel residents after major story events and inspect character icons on the Stargazer map. Human choices and listening to complete records build humanity; do not reduce the system to the inaccurate rule of always lying. Track Eugénie, Antonia and Venigni’s discoveries particularly carefully, because answering before obtaining the necessary context can close off a reward.
- Resolve hotel requests and listen to each new record all the way through.
Reserve boss Ergo for special weapons
Rare boss Ergo has alternative uses. Choose weapons for the special-weapon collection and never consume that resource merely to gain levels; amulets can wait for a later cycle. Golden Lie depends on humanity and the hotel portrait, while the Nameless Puppet’s weapon requires defeating that boss. A missing special weapon cannot simply be repaired by buying out an ordinary merchant.
- Check off the acquired weapon before spending each rare Ergo.
Prepare Sophia’s decision and the final choice
For Rise of P, build humanity before the decisive Sophia encounter, give her peace and check the hair transformation. Refusing Geppetto’s final request leads to the Nameless Puppet; surrendering the heart creates another ending. Free from the puppet string has conditions different from Rise of P, so plan another cycle rather than assuming that reloading the final arena changes all earlier requirements.
- Choose the cycle’s target ending before the final-area Sophia conversation.
Return to the hotel before the next cycle
After the credits, return to the hotel and inspect Geppetto’s study before starting New Game+. Ending-related letters and the piano can complete trophies that are not automatically awarded by the ending scene. Finish cryptic vessels as well: decoding is insufficient without claiming the rewards. If a vessel requires a particular weapon, preserve the corresponding boss Ergo until that task is complete.
- Check letters, the piano and vessel rewards before confirming the next cycle.
Use NG+ for records and alternative choices
Golden records sold by New Game+ merchants make that cycle part of the platinum route. Track merchant locations and buy new records before story events move them. The 2025 update lets players acquire some formerly exclusive records within one cycle, but does not remove NG+ requirements or reopen every missed quest. Listen to new acquisitions and dedicate the ending to the conditions still missing.
- Buy golden records and separate the base collection from Overture records.

Frequently asked questions
Must I buy Overture for the platinum?
No. The platinum belongs to the original list. Overture adds a separate group and does not replace Krat’s requirements.
Does the new easier difficulty disable trophies?
No. The updated difficulty options are usable. Required choices, collections and endings still have to be completed.
Is merely owning every record enough for Golden Melody?
The condition also includes listening. Finish playback at the hotel and check golden records sold only in NG+.
